Several people have been killed in a shooting at a packed shopping centre in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, according to police.
A 22-year-old Danish man was arrested in connection with the shooting by armed officers near Field’s shopping centre, said police inspector Soren Thomassen, head of the Copenhagen police operations unit.
“We know that there are several dead” and “several injured,” Thomassen told a news conference, adding that terror can’t be ruled out.
“We do not have information that others are involved. This is what we know now.”
Images which emerged from the scene appeared to be the suspect being led away by armed police in cuffs while wearing a white hooded top.
Copenhagen Mayor Sophie H Andersen tweeted, “Terrible reports of shooting in Fields. We do not yet know for sure how many were injured or dead, but it is very serious.”
Local media published images showing heavily armed police officers at the scene, as well as people running out of the shopping centre.
Meanwhile, shocking mobile phone footage posted on social media appeared to show the moment shots rang out, sending people sprinting for the exits as screams were heard.
